[Chorus] Along the way to close my eyes I lost where I was going The more it will spin the more that I try To stop my mind flowing Away away To all that I despise Along the way to close my eyes You can't be let down if you don't expect the world Expect to lay awake there by your sleeping girl If somebody cares then there is no way you can tell Cursed consciousness it's your private hell [Chorus] Tick tick tick the clock bludgeons your mind Endlessly replaying times that were unkind Go away sun I'm not prepared for you today It seems you are it seems you are [Chorus]
